Self
Confidence Counseling
To lose your self confidence is to lose
your very fiber of trust in yourself.
Instead of a person able to freely make sound judgment calls and
possesses excellent decision making skills, individuals that lack self confidence
are constantly second guessing themselves and often unable to make even the
simplest decision without gnawing worry and concern. If you have found yourself to be slipping
into the pit of low self confidence, do not worry, there is hope! Instead of berating yourself over poor
actions that occurred in the past, change your future. Seek out counseling that will enable you to
rebuild and maintain your self confidence at unparalleled levels.
The first step to self confidence
counseling is making the commitment to seek out and attend these helpful
sessions. Whether private or in a group
setting, this counseling can be the spark that changes your life. You may enter the sessions as a self
doubting, passive individual, but you will leave full of hope and optimism with
the ability to totally trust your own actions and judgments. Before you enter counseling, consider any
potential obstacles in your current life.
Perhaps your spouse, family member, friend, or co-worker has lowered
your self confidence and may be detrimental to your counseling. Perhaps you have experienced low self
confidence since childhood and need to break the cycle imposed upon you by your
parents or guardians. Maybe you are in a
difficult situation at your job, with employees, bosses, or colleagues
constantly tearing away at your self confidence. Whatever the case, you should be prepared to
make the commitment to begin a new way of life in order to rebuild your self
confidence. Even the smallest changes
will help you in this process. Being in
the right frame of mind before you begin will assist you to your goal in a
quicker, more positive manner.
Once you have determined to seek
counseling, begin researching viable options.
The World Wide Web is a great source of information on counseling spots
in your city or town. If you feel
entering counseling will be too overwhelming for you or your schedule does not
allow it, the Internet is also a great tool that enables you to virtually meet
and discuss with individuals from all over the world. There are many websites, forums, and chat
rooms devoted to individuals working to rebuild their self confidence. You can join these sites anonymously if you
are worried about others finding out your private information, but still have
the capability to begin some type of counseling. Many individuals have a strong, confidence
façade, but lack the same components on the inside. If you find yourself in this situation and do
not want the world to know you have a problem with your self confidence, this
method of virtual counseling is perfect for you.
Traditional counseling tends to be the most
effective method of rebuilding your dwindling self confidence. Universities, hospitals, churches, civic
groups, and even local organizations offer counseling of one sort of
another. You may be interested in
joining a support group in order to interact with others that share your
feelings of doubt and distrust. Many
individuals find themselves too shy or ashamed for one reason or another to
join a support group, or any other type of group counseling, immediately. If you find yourself in this boat, consider
private counseling first, then graduating on to group counseling. If money is a concern, it should be known
that group counseling is usually a great deal cheaper—if not free—than private,
one-on-one counseling.
What ever form of counseling you decide
upon, enter into it with seriousness and determination. If you maintain a positive attitude and
strive towards achieving your goals, your self confidence is guaranteed to
drastically improve.
